Find out what your peers are saying about Zabbix, Datadog, Auvik and others in Network Monitoring Software."We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"Able to drill down into a center's utilization, then create reports based on it."
"The most valuable features are encrypted threat analysis and the ability to run jobs on entire flows."
"The most valuable feature is having visibility into the data segments throughout our network."
"The most valuable feature is anomaly detection, where it finds things that are not allowed internally."
"The most valuable feature about this solution is that it gives me insight of my network."
"It provides good visibility to the customers. People are still evaluating it, but it provides visibility and helps them to take action to remediate and mitigate the issues that are highlighted on the dashboard. It has good integration with the Cisco switching platform."
"Great network monitoring, looking at anomaly detection and evaluation."
"It works efficiently for encrypted traffic analysis."
"The features that I have found most valuable with Skybox Security Suite, and this is because I work on the security side, are the firewall assurance, the change manager and the vulnerability control. These three features are the most impressive from Skybox Security."
"It shows me a client's or an organization's entire network. I can see everything."
"The port division management was the solution's most valuable aspect for our organization."
"The performance could be good because we chose it at the time, but it is too complex for us to appreciate its performance because we lack the necessary skills."
"The solution's most valuable and unique assets are the vulnerability management and change management solutions because they identify mistakes in the network before implementation which reduces risks."
"It can be integrated with a vulnerability management solution. When a client comes, apart from pitching network and firewall change management, we are recommending having vulnerability management. So, rather than just having the audit of the firewall, they can integrate it with their vulnerability management solution, which could be Rapid7, Qualys, or any other solution. This provides them the most value out of the platform. That is the way we are approaching our customer base."
"The most valuable features of Skybox Security Suite are all the modules that are provided, such as vulnerability assessments and network, and firewall assessments."
"Robust modules can be used for different parts of network security."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
"It's too complicated to install, when starting out."
"There's a lot of traffic on our network that we don't see sometimes."
"Cisco could improve the administration for the customers."
"The visualization could be improved, the GUI is not the best."
"Reliance on Java. Get away from that."
"I would like to see it better organized when I'm looking at it."
"We've run into some issues with the configuration."
"Cisco Stealthwatch needs more integration with device discovery. We have to do a lot of hard work to figure out what things are. Better service integration is required."
"The support could be improved."
"The solution needs to move improve its interface to a full web browser version that is more accessible and doesn't require installation for use."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. It would be better, especially if a customer bought all four modules."
"During implementation, we realised approximately 30 devices were not supported by the Skybox platform."
"The solution needs to add more automation and orchestration capabilities. Those features would make the solution much stronger."
"They are not satisfied with the complexity of the solution and the price."
"I've had issues with licensing where, when they were expiring and I asked for the updated licenses, I would the wrong ones. I think their process needs to be straightened out a little bit - I don't know if they fixed it already, it has been awhile. It wasn't as straightforward as it could have been."
"The tool does not offer options for customization."
